This week's art lesson involved taking a good look at Vincent van Gogh. What an interesting , sad man he was. Do you know he only sold one painting in all of his life time.
The children had an opportunity to mix and spread paint in the style of Van Gogh. Although he worked in oils and we worked in acrylic, the end results were splendid.
See for yourself!
One of the pleasures I get in teaching art to children is watching them begin to explore. One young man really began to thoroughly enjoy mixing his colours together and creating new ones on his pallet.
The forgroung and background created some problem solving as we only used a limited pallet.
Some of the children that painted these are 5 and 6 and one is only 4. Others are 11. The end results are beautiful.
What a great art time we had.
